No, Devin's super wear resistant steel is different, more of a carbon/semi tool steel, this is powdered stainless steel. Both are fantastic, I would have a hard time choosing between them. This one probably gets a bit sharper easier than the SWR and the SWR stays sharper a bit longer, but the differences are negligible and your use and sharpening ability would have more affect than the differences in the steels.

I dunno, man. I think the pm stainless in the advertised knife, is MUCH easier to sharpen. It's like AEB-L with a bit more wear resistance, slightly less toughness or edge stability and a little tougher to get uber-sharp. If I didn't already have several knives made out of this steel, I'd get this one in a heartbeat. I might still get this one.
